On Monday, March 3, 2008, the Minnesota Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee will be hearing a bill to repeal the mourning dove hunting season. This hearing is scheduled to take place at 12:30 PM at the State Capitol in St. Paul, Room 107.

Please contact the senators who serve on that committee and ask them to vote for S.F. 2329, supporting the repeal. This is especially important if one of your senators serve on the committee.
